We are hosting a 2017 Order of the Red Banner Dinner with Cigar City Brewing!
"Introduced in 2011, The Order of The Red Banner Dinner celebrates the beloved [Marshall Zukhov] Imperial Stout by organizing a five-course beer dinner paired with nothing but Imperial Stouts."
This dinner features beers that are often not sold outside of the brewery, and even then only to members of the exclusive El Catador Barrel-Aged Beer Club in Tampa, Florida. So, if you are not a member, this is your only chance to try many of these special release barrel-aged brews!
On Thursday September 21st at 7pm, guests will enjoy a 5-course meal prepared by Chef Scott Plumley to pair with 5 big & bold imperial stouts crafted by Cigar City! Each guest will also go home with a bottle of this year's Marshall Zhukov's Imperial Stout! Brewery representatives and specials guests will also join to chat with us about beer and teach us a thing or two about stout pairings.
"Marshal Zhukov's, the heart and soul of Cigar City Brewing's imperial stout lineup, is a midnight-black monolith boasting aromas of espresso beans and raisins with a palate full of bitter chocolate, herbal bitterness and dry toffee. Fudge-like without being cloying, roasty without being acrid and built to develop further complexity over time when properly cellared, Zhukov's holds a very special place with our brewers and with craft beer fans all over the world."
